Step 1

Paint a base coat. I’ve opted to use white here, but pastels are a good choice too! Let dry.

Step 2

Take a yellow polish and paint small yellow ovals onto each nail. This will be the pineapple body.

Step 3

Dip a fine brush into brown nail polish and stroke lines in a crosshatch pattern over the pineapple body. Repeat on all nails, then clean the brush with nail polish remover.

Dip a fine brush into green nail polish and brush on 3–4 light strokes to create the spiky pineapple leaves. Repeat on all nails to finish!
